The human side of Charlie Manson

The human side of Charlie Manson. OK the LA Times jumped the shark with this piece of stupidity. Human side? Manson was a piece of shit who should have been executed decades ago save for Governor Moonbeam’s California Supreme Court appointee Rose Bird. Sorry dummies, he was WAY different from the rest of us.

Manson, though, was no devil but a human being, as his death makes clear. I don’t say that to soften or absolve him. But I don’t believe in demons; people are frightening enough. Indeed, to accept Manson as a person, to see him through the filter of his humanity, is to acknowledge what we resist: that he was perhaps not so utterly different from the rest of us.
